one thing if you will about justice kennedy is that you not as surly predictor was going to be and if you asked a weston -- he asked a question, you had to listen carefully. not because he was a swing justice, but just because you didn't have as much or shadowing of where he might his questions were often based on common sense and him really trying to get to the right answer. i thought that that made it fun to argue before him. fun being a relative term, horse, because you are scared out of your mind the first 10 to 20 times. host: this is from c-span's supreme court documentary. i want to show our viewers and have the two of you talk about it. [video clip] >> after it was my colleagues made an interesting comment one you someone asked me -- are nervous before you go on the bench? the answer is no, not at all. i look or would you it. . sometimes you are here -- you hear university professors are high school teachers say -- you know, it was hard -- as hard to give the exam is to take it. don't believe it. same thing with attorneys. i was always nervous when i appeared in court as an at

what would justice kennedy say about it? >> he would rarely tell me that oral argument to ask or by. watching his reactions to oral argument in the way he engaged, he viewed it as very important. justices sit at oral argument, they have a make us brief, thence numbers, all of the discussions. nonetheless, justice kennedy viewed this from his own heartbeat, how is faster when he gave oral arguments. he viewed this as a critical opportunity for litigants to make their case. in summer cases, oral argument might literally switch the way a case comes out. that is generally unusual. it can influence away and opinion is written, and that is extremely significant when you have the u.s. supreme court, whose opinions are picked over word by word by lower courts. he viewed oral argument as a critical part of understanding the positions and testing the logical implications. >> before the next case, i want you both to give me your reaction to this decision. texas, racety of admissions process and a formative action. >> what do you make of

did it for justice kennedy, what it?d he say about reactions to his oral argument and the way he oral argument, it was a big part of the case process. when the justices sit, they have discussions with their clerks and in some cases nonetheless, justice kennedy talked about this experience. sacramento, remembering when he gave arguments. cases, all argument might literally switch the way the case comes out. unusual.enerally it can influence the way the opinion is written. that is significant with the court where they're picked off word by word. argument as a critical part of understanding the logical implications. i want you both to give me your reactions to this decision, fisher v university of texas, econd case in 2015, race and admissions process and affirmative action. make of his decision and who he agreed >> this is another issue where i think there was not an easy way to approach the issue. there had been a number of universities who wanted to consider diversity-like factors in admissions. is that the same thing as

there are lots throughout justice kennedy's jurisprudence. if you look at the principles that have always defined him as a justice, they exist throughout these cases, but the outcomes depend on the facts presented in any case. i think the court to some extent got lucky, if you will, in the masterpiece cake shop case. even though justice kennedy was clear about the need to protect both of those interests, how do you reconcile them? at the end of the day it seems like you need an answer. either the person has to make the cake or the person does not have to make the cake. it turned out there was a separate problem that the colorado commission had said some things that really displayed animosity towards the cake baker's religion, so the supreme court was able to decide the case on that more narrow basis and say that happened in this particular case and it was a problem and it showed animosity. it left the broader question of really how do you reconcile these two interests when they are completely in conflict, and those questions are not going to g

kennedy joined the supreme court justices and congress has spent $20 million trying to justify regulationof carbon dioxide and there is no scientific justification that it causes anything more than a modest warming but yet mr. kennedy joined four other supreme court justices to expand the clean air act rule that this life-giving gas is a pollutant and can be regulated by government this will result in a massive expansion of government powers over our lives so how do you reconcile this in terms of freedom? >> that is a fascinating question and i'm afraid my response will sound a bit like ima supreme court nominee trying to avoid a difficult questions. [laughter] but i will take the point that randy made to say respectfully because that is an area of his jurisprudence that i have not studied and have not discussed in the book it is a fascinating area of his decision-making but i will respectfully decline because it's not something of which i will plead ignorance i i don't know enough about to accurately respond to your question. >> this is not a good time to observe when i went on book tumo

justice kennedy was the most surprising. kennedy really thought abortion was wrong. he thought roe was wrong. he basically did nothing it was his job to write moral beliefs into law. grassley will remember this, he said some of this in his hearing, the constitution set up a system where individuals make decisions for their life, but the government. in the gay-rights area and others, kennedy had this view that the constitution protects liberty, and in the end he was unwilling to overturn roe v. wade. i also agree with senator murray's comments that one of the things the conservatives learned from those years -- the line they use is no more suitors -- they did not want to take justices who had not had a record or have not written -- they just knew he was a conservative judge from new hampshire. it turned out he wasn't a conservative on abortion. they have been more careful about picking judges on abortion. he thought chief justice rehnquist was his first judicial hero. one of the first things was he dissented in roe v. wade. i don't know for sure what he will do on the

that's with the retirement of justice kennedy. i checked to make sure i understood the section of the constitution, article two. with the president's powers it talks about how the president can fill that vacancy subject to the advice and consent of the united states senate. one hundred united states senators arguably have the last word on any nominee. unfortunate to serve on the judiciary committee where we get the first chance to review nominees and take a look at their backgrounds and vote as a committee before it's brought to the floor of the senate. i've listen to my colleagues who support judge kavanaugh and sending onto the bench to. i'm troubled by one aspect of the nomination. it is different than any nomination in the history of the united states. different in this respect, this president made it clear that any person wanted to be eligible for the united states supreme court needed to pass clearance by two organizations, one is called the federalist society and the other is the heritage institute. both are conservative or

justice kennedy now leaving the court was one of those. even though we didn't pursue this in depth at his hearing, those of us that are pro-life, i am one of them, were pretty assured that kennedy might be one of those votes to override roe v. wade. in 1992, in the kc versus planned parenthood case, kennedy was one of the majority of the harmnot to do any whatsoever to roe v. wade. there is no way to predict how a justice will rule on a particular case. many times, this senator has been disappointed by what he ifught a judge might do approved. >> the best evidence that judge kavanagh would overturn roe is the extreme anti-groups voted the likelihood to do exactly that. want to address a few aspects of judge kavanagh's records that expose how unqualified he is to make decisions that will impact women from all backgrounds for generations to come. when i examined the record and history of a supreme court nominee, i hope to see a breath of life experience, or the ability to walk in someone else's shoes. judge kavanagh has not mistreated either

i think justice kennedy, now leaving the court, was one of those. even though we did not pursue this in-depth with him at his hearing, those of us who are pro-life, and i am one of the, was assured kennedy was one of those votes to override roe v. wade. and yet the 1992 in the kc versus parenthood case, kennedy was one of the majority that voted not to do any harm whatsoever to rewrite. -- to roe v. wade. so there is no way to predict how a justice will rule on a particular case. many times this senator has been disappointed by what he thought f approved.ight do, i >> madam president, the best evidence judge kavanaugh would overturn roe is that extreme anti-'s choice groups vetted him to do exactly that. i want to address a few aspects of judge kavanaugh's record that to me shows how unqualified he is to make decisions that will impact women of all backgrounds for generations to come. when i examined the record and history of a supreme court nominee, i expect to see a breadth of life, experience, and the ability to walk and someone else's shoes. for

and the reason this is so big is that kennedy was without question the most powerful justice on the courtause he can deadlift 650 pounds, but also because while he was generally conservative, kennedy did sometimes vote with liberals, right? he voted in favor of gay rights, the women's right to choose, and affirmative action. and he was the deciding vote. now, trump will likely replace him with a justice who would discriminate and dismantle abortion rights and lgbtq rights. and that--that sound you're hearing right now? that's mike pence having his first orgasm. yeah, he's like, "i cast you out, semen!" - the landscape of american justice is shifting dramatically tonight on news that 81-year-old supreme court justice anthony kennedy is retiring. and now, for the second time in his presidency, donald trump is poised to exercise one of the president's most consequential powers: nominating the court's next justice. - well, we have a pick to come up. we have to pick a great one. we have to pick one that's gonna be there for 40 years, 45 years. - goddamn, this is so crazy. like, you realize reg

the first week i think you will see justice kavanaugh different from his former boss, justice kennedy is he is more of a textualist. the second way is built on a case the justice already talked about witches a net neutrality regulation case. justice kavanaugh in the first half of that decision explained his approach to the major questions doctrine, which is an exception to chevron deference. this exception got fanfare in obamacare. chief justice roberts, writing for a six justice majority applied it and said when it comes to statue ambiguities that provoke a question, we are not going to defer to the agency. you are asking us to defer to the irs about how to regulate billions of dollars in the health market. that is a major question. we are not going to defer. justice roberts still found a way for the irs to win. exceptionhis question to chevron deference. in the net neutrality regulation, judge kavanaugh confront of the major questions doctrine and embraced it. well,id this applies as regulating internet's in this way. congress has not spoken clearly. we are not going to defer to the

before you became a supreme court justice, you work for senator kennedy. what are the things that most guided you? justice breyer: there were about six things. the law clerk had engraved. the first one was -- what are you talking about? something like that. the one i have learned most, that i'd do think and not everyone does, what i learned most from him -- two thanks. one, he would tell ken feinberg, work it out. we would say how? that's your problem. you go work it out. that is what he was like. he had a sense of humor but he was serious. what i learned the most? don't go for the credit. that is what he would say. andourse, being a senator elected, he has to get some credit, but don't go for the credit. credit is a weapon. you use it and you use that weapon in order to get something done. if you have a choice between being the hero of the hour with lots of credit or getting something done and it is only 20% of what you want, go for the 20%. i cannot tell you how many times i saw him put that into practice. we would be trying to get something, there would

there was a prayer before the local government board and the an opinion written by justice kennedy for the five conservative majority said justice at judge kavanaugh had done. last issue i will mention before passing the microphone is the second amendment. in 2008, the supreme court keller had athe right to his handgun in home for self-defense. -4 majority. d.c. responded with a ban on semi automatic rifles. he sued again. it went to a circuit. thinking, ife been there are three republican appointees, his claim is -- there is reason for optimism for him. but judge kavanaugh was the only of the three judges who said that he had the right to the weapon in question. he did it not because he said he guns here or dislikes to his policy preferences have no bearing on the question. noted that he understands the problems of crime. his lived in the d.c. area for almost all of his life. he recognizes that it is a serious issue. but he said that if you read justice scalia's opinion, it suggests that we don't conduct some kind of free wielding balance test when it comes to a fundamental right like
